Can you help the Rooky Racers?

Chris and I are happy running the team but any help in the following areas would be great !…

Setting up in morning…. we turn up an 9am to be ready for training at 9:30am… feel free to come along and help, not compulsory, but would be appreciated !

Venue… The Rooky Racers have a great training venue - fenced off, great parking, flat, rabbit hole free, cut short grass, water, dog paddling pool ! …. unfortunately we can only ever train on Saturday morning.  This can clash with competition weekends …. so if you know of a flat space (indoors or outdoors) that can be used in the summer competition season on Sundays, or, weekday evenings let Chris or I know !

Website… it needs an overhaul !… so any budding web masters come forward and make yourself known (could be a good ICT school project for our younger members !).

Training … we desperately need extra hands to help train starters and non starters, for people seriously interested we might also offer to fund a place at the Rocket Relay seminar, Chris has been on this twice… Rocket Relay are one of the fastest Flyball teams in the world and come to the UK from Canada once a year to give training advice:http://www.rocketrelay.net/

Box loaders … any spare family members to help with box loading would be appreciated !

Sponsorship… Windlesham Vets sponsored the Rooky Racers last year; this year we could do with a sponsor again !… we offer sponsorship branding on our tops, flyball boxes, website, (possibly on the jumps too)… this will be seen around many competitions in the South.

Competition Help… For anyone who enjoys waking up early there is the opportunity to turn up at competitions at 8am to complete the teams paper work ready for racing.  If they could also keep a note of the final race results to show in the website that would be great (not done this since Jan 2011 !).  We also need someone to log individual dog / heat results.

Others – Any discounts or services you can offer to the team let us know, we can provide links from the website… eg, we get a 10% discount at PetFayre in Woodley when you present your BFA membership card. 

Anything else just let Chris or me know !
